The function array_from_valist() is never called in my minimal example. 
I checked with a printf() and with gdb. As far as I can see, only
- _Jv_JNI_Init
- _Jv_LookupJNIMethod
are ever called from jni.cc.

Any other ideas where to look? I don't know where happens what when 
calling a method over jni.

I think it's not that easy. It should be correctly set after the 
boolean. If b then 1 else 0. So the suggested malloc from Tom also won't 
work...
